Not every Liverpool signing can make an instant impact at Anfield. Darwin Nunez might have become the latest Reds player to score on his debut for the club, against Man City in last July’s Community Shield, but for other players, it takes a little longer to settle.
There is no shame in such a fact, and under Jurgen Klopp there has perhaps been additional understanding from supporters when new arrivals do require that bit more time to bed in.
Andy Robertson and Fabinho are perhaps the first examples that come to mind. The Scotland international wouldn’t become a regular for Liverpool until December 2017, while Fabinho had to wait until October 2018 to make his first Premier League start for the Reds.
